		<description>The Maypole? C&#039;mon! It&#039;s a phallus set up on the Green as prelude to the deflowering that goes on in the fields later that evening (preChristian fertility stuff). The ribbons, hanging loosely around the phallus: you guess!</description>

		<description>Tony - I&#039;m so glad you decided to &quot;share&quot; your annual visit with your Mama, with the man in your life.  I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll never know how much it meant to the Attorney for you to do so.  And how proud and touched he must have been as you introduced him to your Mama there.  My tears in reading your post will serve as a reminder to cherish the time I have taking care of my own Mother for as long as I have left with her.  Happy early Mother&#039;s day to Tony&#039;s Mom and everyone else&#039;s out there too! - Michael</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve never visited your blog before.  But this post moved me to tears.  I also look at my Mother in terms of how long she&#039;s been gone.  And several years ago marked the point where she&#039;s been deceased longer than I knew her.  I understand those thoughts.  Thanks for sharing this story.</description>

		<description>My mom is buried in a neighboring state, and it&#039;s been a few years since I&#039;ve been to her grave. I wish I could go more often, but it doesn&#039;t happen.

I have often wanted to talk to my mom, but I always feel silly doing so. I don&#039;t have to be at her grave, just living my life wondering how things would be different if she were alive. She died when I was in high school, and I ended up taking over the role of mother. Sometimes I have a hard time relinquishing my duties.

Thanks for sharing such a personal moment. I truly appreciate it.</description>

		<description>You write so beautifully and express yourself so well. Even &quot;This is him&quot; would have said a million times more to the attorney than those three words could say literally. 
I&#039;m lucky enough to still have my mother but never had the opportunity to introduce anyone special to her, yet.
You have an amazing and beautiful soul Mr L Tony.

		<description>I am a little sad, but a lot happy after reading your story.  You made me think of when my husband finally &quot;met&quot; my mama.  I have only been to visit her two times in the 14 years she has been gone, but only because she is buried in Memphis and I live in Texas.  Thank you for writing this and making me remember this special time.</description>

		<description>Simply beautiful again. I&#039;m sorry about your mother, but I am glad you introduced the Attorney to her. Tony, I am so happy you have the Attorney in your life. The strong mixed emotions you evoked brought tears to my eyes as to many of your other readers. I too feel the loss of my mother at this time of year, and unexpectedly have found someone to love and love me. I feel very lucky. In spite of, and because of, everything I hope you do too.</description>

		<description>When I read, &quot;This is him,&quot; I stood up and walked away from the computer.  Holy shit.  Now I&#039;m crying.  What a journey it has been for you, Tony.  Wow.</description>
